Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 290 The Road to the Palace
And here in Beijing...

The queen mother was furious in the palace because of the dereliction of duty of the guards. Kou Dan's hand painted in red was stretched out in the air and trembling slightly, pointing to a line of slaves kneeling on the ground, angrily reprimanded.

The majestic and harsh voice echoed in the palace, making people tense up.

"A group of stupid slaves! You can't even look down on a single person! You let people in and let them run away. What's the use of Aijia supporting you? Waste!" She distorted the expression on her delicately made-up face due to anger, and sternly scold.

A roomful of servants kneeling on the ground trembled with fright because of her rage, and buried their heads low on the ground, their trembling bodies seemed to be sifting things.

The queen mother sat down and rubbed her temples, she felt upset when she thought that the girl who eavesdropped on everything they said was so good at light kungfu that she could retreat from the body, and that person was most likely a spy sent by Su Ruoqi and the others distracted.

Seeing that the servants on the ground were full of useless things, she stroked her forehead with one hand and remained silent for a while, restraining her anger.

The air was so quiet that only the sound of the servants gasping for air could be heard.

She put her hand on her forehead, scraping her forehead gently with the tip of her nails, thinking.

If that girl was really sent by Su Ruoqi and the others, what should I do?

Now that she has escaped from the city, she might be tipping Su Ruoqi and the others.

No, that girl must die!
She suddenly thought of Xu Wei who was rushing to the capital. As long as Xu Wei, who holds the military power, stays with her, everything will be as stable as Mount Tai.

No one can overthrow her, because only Su Ruoqi and the others can't make any big waves.

Thinking of this, she anxiously asked: "Where has Xu Wei been? How long will it be until he arrives at the palace?" There was a hint of fatigue in her voice.

At this time, one of the kneeling servants raised his head and replied respectfully: "It will take about three days for Master Xu to return to the Empress Dowager."

When she heard that Xu Wei could enter the city in only three days, she would be able to sit back and relax at that time, the Empress Dowager's expression eased.

With one elbow flat on the armrest, she gathered herself together, and felt annoyed at the roomful of kneeling servants, so she simply waved her hand to make them back down.

Everyone seemed to be pardoned, bowed their heads and retreated quickly.

After retreating to the left and right, she was the only one left in the empty palace, she let out a breath of defense, and rubbed her temple with one hand, feeling a pain in her head.

"Su, Ruo, Qi..." She mumbled Su Ruoqi's name in her mouth, and she didn't stop pressing with her hands.

Anyone who prevents her from ascending the throne will die!
A fierce light flashed in her eyes, cold and full of ambition, she slowly put down her hand and played with her nails, wondering where Su Ruoqi and the others would hide, and whether they were recruiting.

And whether she can control Xu Wei...

On the other side, Xu Zheng and the others were entering the palace unhurriedly until sunset, when the afterglow of the setting sun hit the group of people, An Lan led the horse and followed Xu Zheng, tilting her head and said, "I've been walking for a day, look, the front There is an inn, why don't we rest for a night and feed the horses before leaving!"

Coincidentally, Xu Zheng also thought the same way, anyway, there is no rush to enter the palace, it doesn't matter if the Queen Mother waits for a day or two, this can also give Su Ruoqi and the others a little more time.

He nodded and looked straight ahead. Although he didn't look at An Lan, it made her very happy. From this, he couldn't help thinking of the past few days:
She smiled obsequiously: "Xu Zheng, what are we having for dinner?"

What I got was a silent answer.

She knew that he was angry, and she followed them to the capital regardless of the danger, so she tried every means to get close to him, talked to him, and wanted him to forgive herself.

Who knows that this person is like a log when he is angry, no matter how you talk to him, he will take it as autumn wind.

At that time, she tugged at his sleeve, but Xu Zheng pushed her away with one hand, and walked past him back to the station with a cold face.

It would be fine if he was willing to talk to himself, but who knows that he just didn't say a word and turned a blind eye to her.

But fortunately, she insisted on talking to him every day, after hard work, he finally stopped being silent and was willing to respond to her with a sentence or two.

Thinking of this, An Lan withdrew from her memories and hummed a little song in a good mood.

Walking outside the station, a group of people led the horse to the person in the station. An Lan went to the counter and asked the shopkeeper for two jars of wine.

Xu Zheng who was standing aside listened, shook his head, pulled her over forcibly, and said in a cold voice, "You are a woman, what are you doing drinking!"

The shopkeeper looked distressed, and asked the two if they wanted more wine. Xu Zheng only ordered wine for the accompanying people, and sat down at a random place.

There was a smile on the corner of An Lan's mouth. Xu Zheng had been keeping a distance from her recently, and she hadn't been close to her for a long time. She couldn't help laughing out loud when she thought of him pulling her hand just now.

Xu Zheng raised his eyes and looked at her suspiciously. After seeing her thoughts, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. There was really nothing he could do with this girl.

An Lan didn't think too much about it, poking at the rice in the bowl, smiling and winking at Xu Zheng from time to time, Xu Zheng's lips drooped, a little helpless.

The scene of the two flirting with each other fell into the eyes of the accompanying people, and everyone tacitly laughed secretly.

"Xu Zheng, what kind of food do you like?" An Lan asked after thinking about it.

She always talked to him now whenever she got the chance.

But she had asked this question several times at the dinner table, but she still didn't get an answer, because Xu Zheng has never been particular about dishes and has no favorite dishes.

Hearing this, Xu Zheng just glanced at her and didn't speak.

"meat ball with soy sauce?"

"Eel bone shredded chicken?"

"Steamed lamb?"

"Could it be white flour steamed buns?"

Seeing that Xu Zheng didn't answer her, she pointed to the dishes on the table and asked them one by one, her smile undiminished.

Everyone couldn't stand it anymore, and they all gave Xu Zheng winks, indicating that he would care about the girl's house.

Xu Zheng put down the bowls and chopsticks slowly, frowned, and couldn't help shouting: "Shut up."

Seeing that he finally spoke, An Lan smiled even more, and kept nodding: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything."

She bit the tip of the chopsticks, staring at Xu Zheng's face with enthusiasm, Xu Zheng pushed the bowl and chopsticks away: "Use it slowly."

Then went upstairs.

Seeing the helpless look on Xu Zheng's face for the first time, everyone couldn't help admiring An Lan and said, "You little girl has some skills!"

An Lan raised her head and stuffed food into her mouth with a smile.

Everyone shook their heads in unison. It was said that the girl was wanted by the queen mother. Instead of worrying about the danger after entering the palace every day, she was thinking about how to talk to Xu Zheng more.

Such a wonderful thing is really rare in the world!
